Proposed Nassau storage law
Jul 5, 2018 Local Legislation
I have obtained a copy of the proposed Nassau Co. mandatory firearms storage law.
The legislative clerk’s office insisted I file a FOIL before they would give it to me which was absurd. I was able to get a copy from a legislative aide.

Political hit from Kingston City Council
Mar 21, 2018 Elections, Local Legislation, Politics
The Kingston City Council has on the agenda for today a memorializing resolution calling for more gun control.
I’ve seen a bunch of these, mostly from the NYC Clown Council, but this one goes a bit further targeting local legislators (and by that they mean John Faso and George Amedore) requesting they turn down donations and campaign support from all “FOGs” (Firearm Ownership-Advocacy Groups) and return any previously received. Basically, gun owners should not be allowed to organize and vote on the issue.
